[leftchick]

I wonder what sort of bonus he was offered for this perfectly timed patriotic moment?

1. It makes me sick to see that bastard use the troops.

The whole goddamn administration makes me sick........and ashamed that they are the frontline of this country.

Hypocritical bastard.

9. "Every head is bowed, every eye is closed"

Reminds me of my Southern Baptist upbringing.

When a cicuit preacher would come around, there were always the same old nuts who would invariably 'go down front' to be saved - again.

12. The Cpl. should be ashamed

And I thought only commissioned officers could re-up soldiers?

13. Cheney Admits Taking Advantage of Members of the Military:

Dick Cheney, 2000:

... We all know that everyone in the service, from the highest officer to the newest recruit, is not fully free to speak about mission or morale. That is as it should be. But for the Vice President to claim - on their behalf, without fear of contradiction - that all is well in the military, is only to take further advantage of them.
